Passepartout Does Something Very Wrong

As the steamship made its way east, Fogg stayed inside. He did not look out the windows or talk with other people. He played whist. One morning Passepartout was surprised to see Fix. Passepartout did not know Fix was a detective. He thought Fix was his friend. "I think Mr. Fogg will stop in India," said Passepartout. "He must see that his trip around the world can't be made in so little time. He needs to save his money!" "That is not Fogg's money!" thought Fix. "That is the bank's money! I will watch Fogg. But I will not let Fogg see me!"

The steamship made it to Bombay two days early. Fogg had saved two days! "The railroad between Bombay and Calcutta takes three days to travel," Fogg told Passepartout. "We have time before we need to be on the train. I will go get my passport stamped. You may look around Bombay. Don't miss the train!"

Detective Fix hurried to the police. But London's warrant had not come! "Give me one of your warrants!" said Fix. "Fogg did not break any law in India," the police said. "Your warrant must come from London." "Passepartout thinks they will stay here," thought Fix. "The warrant will come in time." But Passepartout no longer thought Fogg would stop his trip. Fogg was two days early. "We may go around the world faster than 80 days!" thought Passepartout. "This trip is fun

Fix watched the train pull away. On the train, Fogg played whist with Sir Francis. They had met before on the steamship traveling to Bombay. When the train stopped in a town, Fogg looked up. "Here is money to buy shoes," he told Passepartout.

Passepartout came back with pretty red slippers. "This is all that I could find!" Passepartout said, but he looked down at his feet as if he liked his new slippers.

The next morning, Sir Francis asked what time it was. Passepartout told him the time on his watch. "Your watch is wrong!" said Sir Francis. "You must change it from London time! We are traveling east. The sun is traveling the other way. It is three in the morning in London. But four more hours than that have gone by in India."

"My watch is never wrong," said Passepartout. The train stopped in a little town. "This is as far as this railroad goes," a man told them. "You must find a way to Allahabad. That railroad goes to Calcutta." "The newspapers said this railroad goes all the way to Calcutta," said Fogg. "The newspapers were wrong," said the man. "We can't get to Allahabad!" said Passepartout. "We have lost the bet!"
